## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## MySlabs Scraper — Graded Sports Card & Pokemon Slab Marketplace

Extract sold comps and active listings from [MySlabs.com](https://www.myslabs.com), the largest multi-grader peer-to-peer graded-slab marketplace. Covers PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC, TAG, and HGA slabs across sports cards, Pokemon, and other collectibles.

### What you get

Each record includes:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `slab_id` | MySlabs internal numeric ID |
| `listing_url` | Canonical listing URL |
| `title` | Full listing title (YEAR SET #CARD_NO PLAYER GRADE_LABEL) |
| `grader` | Grading company (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC, TAG, HGA) |
| `grade` | Grade label as displayed (e.g. "PSA 10 GEM MINT") |
| `grade_numeric` | Parsed numeric grade (e.g. `10`, `9.5`) |
| `year` | Card year (extracted from title) |
| `listing_status` | `sold`, `active`, `ended`, or `pulled` |
| `sale_price` | Final sale price in USD (sold listings) |
| `asking_price` | Current asking price in USD (active listings) |
| `sold_at` | Sale date / timestamp string |
| `description` | Seller description text |
| `watchers_count` | Number of watchers / trackers |
| `image_urls` | Array of full-resolution slab image URLs |

### Three scraping modes

#### `archive` — Sold comps (default)

Walks the sold archive at `/browse/archive/`. Over 150,000 sold listings, growing ~50/day. Use this mode to pull historical sale prices for comparables research.

Optional filters:
- **query** — keyword search (player name, set, card number)
- **sport** — filter by sport or category keyword (baseball, basketball, pokemon)
- **grader** — filter by grading company

#### `active` — Current listings

Walks active listings at `/browse/`. Same data shape as archive mode but for slabs currently on sale.

#### `slab` — Single slab lookup

Fetch one or more specific slabs by ID or URL. Pass bare numeric IDs or full `/slab/view/<id>/` URLs in `slabIds`.

```json
{
  "mode": "slab",
  "slabIds": ["1545016", "1500000"]
}
````

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `mode` | string | `archive` | Scrape mode: `archive`, `active`, or `slab` |
| `query` | string | — | Keyword search (player, set, card number) |
| `sport` | string | — | Sport / category filter keyword |
| `grader` | string | — | Grader filter: PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC, TAG, HGA |
| `slabIds` | array | — | Slab IDs or URLs (mode=slab only) |
| `maxItems` | integer | `10` | Maximum records to return. `0` for unlimited. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify residential | Proxy settings. Residential proxy required. |

### Example inputs

**Sold comps for Michael Jordan PSA cards:**

```json
{
  "mode": "archive",
  "query": "Michael Jordan",
  "grader": "PSA",
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

**Active Pokemon listings:**

```json
{
  "mode": "active",
  "sport": "pokemon",
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

**Full archive crawl (unlimited):**

```json
{
  "mode": "archive",
  "maxItems": 0
}
```

### Dataset views

Two pre-configured views are available on the output dataset:

- **Sold Comps** — title, sport, player, year, set, grader, grade, sale\_price, sold\_at, listing\_url
- **Full Slab Detail** — all fields including sub-grades, cert number, watchers, images

### Notes

- Seller usernames are behind a login wall on MySlabs and are not available without authentication.
- BGS sub-grades (centering/corners/edges/surface) are not exposed in the page HTML; they require cert verification API calls which are out of scope.
- Images are sourced from the LD+JSON Product schema for full resolution; the listing thumbnail is used as a fallback.
- Residential proxy is required for reliable access — MySlabs uses Cloudflare and datacenter IPs are frequently challenged.
- The archive contains 150k+ sold listings. Full crawls at `maxItems: 0` will take several hours and consume significant compute units. Use `query` filters to narrow the scope for comp research.
